CM:Canadian Review of Materials

“Lorna Schultz Nicholson’s Puckster’s First Hockey Sweater and Puckster’s First Hockey Game are the beginning of a series of picture books for young hockey fans. Hockey is Canada’s national symbol, and there’s nothing more exciting than getting children into their first hockey sweater and playing their first hockey game. Licensed by Hockey Canada, these two picture books are not just stories; they include hockey facts and tips for young hockey players learning to play the game. As well, many Canadian hockey players, such as Sidney Crosby and Roberto Luongo, are mentioned in the stories. Young readers will definitely be motivated by these hockey players, as are Puckster and the other animals in the stories.”
